Baker & TaylorBernard Sampson searches for his missing brother-in-law in late 1980s Poland, where he and his anxious boss infiltrate the black market and make a shocking discovery

Blackwell North AmerDeighton deftly re-creates the internecine squabbling and self-preserving panic that characterized spying in the months before the Berlin Wall crumbled and the Eastern Bloc dissolved.With cold war loyalties shifting in the freezing wind, Bernard is forced back into the "game," this time without the moral sureness that evil lies exclusively on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Caught between his job and his ethics, his past and his future, and the two women he loves, trapped in a maze of deception and danger where nothing is what it seems, Samson undertakes a mission that leads from rural Poland to the heart of London Central.
